PH Games

Vastly outdated, unsourced predictions, and possibly even a hoax, for I cannot find any evidence of the subject's existence, or that of any of the games the article mentions, the engines, or the subject's competitor; I cannot find anything to confirm any of what this article claims.

Delete. No reliable, independent sources, and Google gives nothing but false positives. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:05, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. Appears to be a total hoax. The only Google references found for games listed here (such as Devastation II: Desert's Sandstorms, Lawscaper: The Chase Begins, and Revolution: Sangre Gang Chronicles) are in this article. Likewise, supposed innovations such as the "Envir On Gameplay" system appear nowhere on the Web. If PH Games had actually had a 50.93% market share in India at any point in time, both the company and its games would be widely discussed online. Moreover, many of the article's concepts don't make sense (for example, a "tabletop game" played with coin flips and dice rolls does not, by definition, use a "gameplay engine").

- Them having a "virtual monopoly" also seems implausible to me. I'm amazed this has survived since November 2007. Adam9007 (talk) 02:27, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete by all means as my searches including the simplest ones found absolutely nothing. I'm impulsed to tag it but for the benefit of the doubt, it may have closed shortly after inception. The user seemed to have been from India and mostly made minor edits so I'm not sure why they made this. SwisterTwister talk 03:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax - I could not find any further references on Google, and this article also has excessive redlinks. Racer-Ωmegα 08:06, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax - Some of the statements in this article are very hard to believe and a simple google search doesn't return anything related to the subject in question. The vast amount of red links and non-existent sources may also hint this. -PotatoNinja^{(Talk to me!)} 12:37, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
